Gregory Harrison "Trapper John, M.D."

From Trapper John, M.D. to Falcon Crest to modern fan favorites, Gregory Harrison has stayed on our screens for 40+ years — with stories to match.

In this candid conversation on Still Here Hollywood, Gregory tells Steve Kmetko about growing up on Catalina Island, the day a Doris Day F-bomb on his dad’s boat made him realize movies weren’t “magic” — just craft — and how that moment set his career in motion. He walks through his first indie feature turning into a Universal film, landing Gonzo Gates opposite Pernell Roberts, and discovering how playing charming men with a dark edge reshaped his career on Falcon Crest and beyond.

Gregory also opens up about serving as a helicopter medic, winning a landmark case as a non-religious conscientious objector, addiction and recovery, long marriage with Randi Oakes, raising a creative family, and what longevity really looks like in Hollywood. It’s nostalgic, generous, and packed with hard-earned wisdom.
